I Recommend Buying it!

Don Bailey's Review

Reference the review below by Don Bailey who complained about the charge. It's not a rip off, it says on the order page "An Additional $10 shipping surcharge is added for items sent outside of the Continental United States" You live in HI that is why you were charged $10 more.

Ordering by Phone

The phone process tries to trick you into choosing additional offers. They tell you at the end that delivery can be expected in a 3-6 week period after a 1-2 week ship out delay. Then they offer you an expedited shipping of 7-10 for significant additional fee. Somewhat slipshod policies.

Don't Get Ripped Off!!!!!

I just purchased a pocket mechanic and was ripped off. The web page said $19.99 for the device and $6.99 shipping for a total of $26.98. HOWEVER! When I clicked pay now I got a page saying I was charged $16.99 for shipping and my total bill was $36.98 NOT the $26.98 given on the order page. Do NOT get ripped off like I did. Avoid this product at all costs.
